What Price Education?
http://www.time.com/time/europe/magazine/article/0,13005,901031215-557015,00.html
University systems in England, France and Germany are cash-strapped,
so some governments are proposing tuition fees — and students are on
the march. Has no-cost higher education become a luxury Europe can't
afford?
By CHARLES P. WALLACE
University students staged a sit-in at Berlin's historic City Hall
last week, blasting whistles and shouting slogans and holding out
until they were dragged away by police. In London, students protested
in Parliament Square. And for weeks now in Paris, thousands of
striking students have filled the boulevards, marching with signs and
banners and chanting "all together!" Europeans are used to seeing
students on the streets pushing for radical change, but these young
people want to preserve the status quo.

university education should be financed almost entirely by the state.
